Hellmann Worldwide Logistics has announced the strengthening of its e-commerce division and appointed Marc Wijnen as Global Head of e-commerce. In this newly created position, Mr. Wijnen is said to take responsibility for the further development of the e-commerce product globally, which falls under the Contract Logistics segment. Mr. Wijnen will also remain responsible for the European Contract Logistics product as Chief Operating Officer.
According to Hellmann, it already offers one-stop shop customised solutions for supply chain planning and execution of customers’ entire e-commerce business. As e-commerce continues to boom, further boosted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, Hellmann is taking a step in positioning its e-commerce product in the market. By offering solutions that cover the entire fulfilment process – from the creation of an online store and setting up warehousing to the development and connection of individual order management systems and payment services, Hellmann aims to achieve sustainable and profitable growth, particularly in the fashion and lifestyle sectors. As an integrated e-fulfilment partner, both Business to Consumer (B2C) and Business to Business (B2B) are focus areas for the expansion efforts.
“The eCommerce market is extremely dynamic. To meet our customers’ increasing demands for innovative solutions, we are currently setting up a ‘Center of Excellence’ with Marc Wijnen as global Head of eCommerce, in which we are pooling our know-how and applying it worldwide. At the same time, we are testing new approaches to solution design and constantly expand our talent and product offering. This is how we ensure that we can offer customers individually tailored services that have their finger on the pulse,” said Volker Sauerborn, Chief Operating Officer Contract Logistics Hellmann.
